In this sharp, funny and deeply personal in-conversation event, Leong will explore the subjects of courage, reinvention and learning to trust yourself. Drawing on experiences across food, media and creative industries, she will explore ambition, vulnerability, cultural identity and the messy reality of building a life and career on your own terms. Insightful and energising, this session celebrates resilience, curiosity and backing yourself, even when the path is unclear.
